It was just at the end of the golden era of BBC comedy, which was fantastic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up watching British comedy on TV, really.
I think we grew up thinking that the funniest things on TV were the old, serious movies. I always liked the Marx Brothers, but the thing that always made us laugh were movies like Zero Hour. That's what inspired us.
I love Stewart Lee's 'Comedy Vehicle' on BBC2. The guy is a genius.
British comedy fans go crazy.
I was the kid who liked making other people laugh, so maybe the comedy came before the acting.
Shakespeare wrote great plays that we're still watching all these years later. Charlie Chaplin made great comedies and they are still as funny today as they ever were.
If you look at 'The Best Man,' there's a lot of humor in that, but I never consider that movie a comedy. I felt that it was a drama with comedic elements and comedic parts to it.
I grew up watching Letterman, 'Seinfeld,' 'SNL,' and Monty Python movies. But nothing made me want to get into comedy more than when 'Mr. Show' started airing.
I think people are always looking for a good comedy.
There is still a lot to be said for the well-made, witty, clever, three-act comedy.
